“the worst they could say is no” true but while they are saying it they very well could hit me with force lightning like palpatine. From star war

(girl who's been thinking about The Character nonstop for two months voice) you'll never guess what this song reminds me of

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

"wait but if u saw the paperclip why would u just leave it there?" its the adhd. Also if i had put it away then i wouldnt have been able to find it a month later when i needed it. So. Checkmate neurotypicals.

yeah yeah the paperclip montage, we've all seen it

[ID: a montage of a paper clip in a bunch of different locations around a house. end ID]

“the research definitively shows (biased belief that i have)!!” you obviously do not know the first thing about science and if you were a scientist you would flounder and fail and all of your colleagues would think you’re a stupid jackass. i think you’re a stupid jackass

“science shows that high body weight is unhealthy!” ok smart guy explain how body weight is related to hypertension. explain exactly which health hazards are related to body weight and how. explain the metabolic differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat. why don’t you come over here and explain how GLP-1 agonists work. if you know everything surely you know how type 2 diabetes develops and its effects on the body and wouldn’t mind explaining it to us. tell us all about type 2 diabetes incidence in people with low body weight and other risk factors aside from body weight. no come back please cite your sources. which labs’ research are you referring to? where does their funding come from? would you care to comment on how the decimation of public research funding has impacted metabolic health research? wait we need your wealth of knowledge to explain why low income is the strongest independent predictor of type 2 diabetes incidence

i understand why writers keep their alien worldbuilding relatively simple for story practicality reasons but its always a lil funny to me when a sci-fi series is like "this alien species is a culture of bounty hunting warriors" like damn all of them? the whole planet? a whole planet-scale society built on bounty hunting? that seems highly impractical but i'll believe it for you bestie.

I learned in my political science class that all major famines in the 20th century and onward have been caused by oppressive groups or political situations restricting access to food, NOT natural causes like crop failure

This is literally the point that Indian economist Amartya Sen made that won him the Nobel prize in economics. As a child, he survived one of the several Bengal famines that were organised by the British colonisers in India. He developed his theory on famines, which is that they were more about distribution of food rather than production or availability of it
